Traditionally, ‘throwing shapes’ means someone is currently on their eighth Smirnoff Ice at a wedding reception and drunkenly flailing their arms to Haddaway. To be fair, that is a massive tune.
Happily though, that’s not the thinking behind these geometric GIFs, which don’t so much catch the eye with shapes as assault it, leaving you near blinded with a flurry of fast moving geometric patterns.
The works - by Dutch designer Florian de Looij - shift cubes, lines, squares and squiggles around to terrific, mind-bending effect all right - if only high school mathematics had been this cool.
